Assembly
Disconnect battery pack from tool before making any assembly, adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Preparing the Saw
BLADE SELECTION
No one blade can be efficient on all cutting jobs. Different materials require specially designed blades. Since your reciprocating saw can cut so many materials, many types of BOSCH blades are available. Be sure to use the proper blade to ensure proper cutting performance.
INSTALLING A BLADE
1.Insert the blade into the blade holder by twisting the collar in direction of arrow until it stops (Fig. 2).
2.Insert a blade into blade slot until blades shoulder rests against the collar.
3.Release collar and spring loaded collar will securely clamp the blade. (Note: If the collar does not return to it’s original position, rotate the collar in direction opposite of the arrow.)
4Push in and pull out on the blade to be sure the pin in the clamp housing goes
through the hole in the blade to hold the blade securely. The blade may be inserted with the teeth facing down or up.
5.To remove the blade, rotate the collar in direction of arrow while pulling the blade out of the blade slot. (Note: be careful, blade may be hot.)
Make sure that the front end of the blade extends through the footplate for the entire stroke length. Do
not use specialty blades that are very short or those with a significant cant. Blade must not contact footplate. A blade which is too short or tilted could jam inside the foot and snap.
